Dear Coca Cola
Coca Cola
is the favoured drink in our household, whether guzzled in vast quantities by my three sons,
consumed in the diet version by my wife, or drunk freely by myself - albeit generally
with a generous measure of rum in it. We rarely drink anything else as I have
always encouraged my family to imbibe it ever since I was witness to a
demonstration in which an old coin had been left in a glass of Coca Cola
to emerge twelve hours later looking as though it were brand spanking new.
I thought to myself at the time ‘If Coca Cola can clean up and old coin
like that, just think what a wonderful job it will do of keeping my
intestines clear,’ and my family and I have been drinking it ever since.
What I particularly like about Coca-Cola is that it is so consistent. What you see is what
you get, as they say. As I was only remarking the other day to a chap at the dentists
where I’d taken two of my sons - Henry to have a couple of teeth out and Marcus for
twelve fillings - ‘Thank God there is one drink on the market that you can depend on.’
Could I ask a favour of you? We will shortly be having friends visit us for a few days and they are very strict vegetarians. Coca Cola will be available to them by the
bucketful of course, but naturally I wouldn’t like to offer them anything which might be at odds with their vegetarian beliefs. I am of course aware that the recipe of Coca Cola is a closely-guarded secret but, with the above in mind, I would be most grateful if you could let me know whether or not there is anything of animal origin in Coca Cola?
Yours faithfully  |
